    Contrary to popular belief, toughness does not equal in-ring ******edness.

    One does not need to be lured into a streetfight in order to be considered tough.
    In my book, you are tough when you deal with adversity and pain without resorting to anything out of character and without backing away from your gameplan.

    Floyd has shown time and again that he won't bother himself with controversy and rough times in the ring, he just keeps going no matter what.
    Getting caught, bullied, rabbit punched, low blowed etc.. it doesn't matter, he'll continue doing exactly what he should be doing; winning. And winning on his terms.

    That is toughness.

      Agreed. Especially when the result is that the man never loses.

          A lot of IF's I know, but if he was ever in a situation where he kept getting caught do you think he could tough it out and keep firing back.
          That will NEVER happen because Floyd isnt a dumb as fighter.

          Hes smart.

          Boxing= sweet science= hit and not get hit.



          What kind of question is this???

          If Mayweather slowed down a bit??

          Do you understand how ****ing fast and explosive Mayweather is at 140.

          Hes faster and has more power..he would absolutely beat the **** out of Hstton worse then he did at 147.

                He has seemed pretty tough so far. Fighting injured, coming back from being hurt, fighting a guy much bigger than him and winning, KOing a guy with fans baying for you to lose.

                I'd like to see him win from being badly hurt, but he's been too good and too cautious to need to do that thus far.
